An attorney for Ralph de la Torre said in a new letter to senators that he"lacks the authority to speak on behalf of Steward with respect to the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings and he is prohibited by a federal court order from doing so"U.S. senators plan Thursday to consider the next major step toward forcing Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre to discuss the company's bankruptcy with lawmakers.
"Contempt means that if he continues to refuse to appear before the committee, we will not stop until he answers for what he has done or is put behind bars," Markey said earlier this month. The embattled CEO's team has said it would be"inappropriate" for de la Torre to testify about Steward's bankruptcy while proceedings continue. A judge approved the sale of six Steward hospitals in Massachusetts, but the deals do not need to be closed until the end of the month.
